Ours is not to question why, only to accept the inevitable convergence of USB and pretty much everything else within the vicinity of our PCs. Meet the newly announced 4-port USB 2.0 hub and tape dispenser from Hong Kong's Earth Trek. It comes in large and small versions and can naturally be affixed with your very own logo for some good ol' corporate schwag. Sorry, these devices are not USB powered -- but if you're the type who finds it overly taxing to dispense tape, then maybe you should be looking into a bionic suit. "Coming soon" in several color options for an undisclosed price.

Yeah I agree with DIMEBAG, I thought it was cool at first...
But, If you are looking for Tape Dispensers that can allow to dispense a desired lenght of tape (right down the mm) check these out:

1 of my co-workers just got 1.. unknown device, can't find driver.. either she got a broken 1 or the hub wont work.. light on front lights up.. but it's nothing to windows.. nice Engrish in the destruction manual.. mostly warnings.. 1 about not decomposing it at your prerogitive or something like that.. the Decompsing part is in there...
Hahaha, thats cool.

Where is my USB stapler?
Gimmicky. When I first looked at the photo, I said to myself 'I want one'... Then I find out that it's a mere USB hub? This is an outrage!
this would be cool if the usb plug was in the back, not the front
You mean, where is my *RED* USB stapler. :)
retarded
Would be cool if it had interfacing software allowing you to define the exact length of tape desired, and the dispense said tape…
Found new hardware...
tape dispenser...driver not found
LMAO!
